According to an embodiment, the transistors in FIG. 2 may be transistors formed at floating wells with a structure shown in FIG. 3. FIG. 3 illustrates a structure of a transistor formed at a floating well according to an embodiment. In FIG. 3, a drain terminal D, a gate terminal G and a source terminal S may be formed at a floating well FW.

By means of a transistor formed at a floating well, a floating well structure may be used for withstanding a high voltage. For example, the high voltage may be (but not limited to) 70 volts. It may be avoided to use a high voltage transistor, so excessive circuit area may be effectively avoided. The circuit structure in FIG. 2 is merely an example. According to an embodiment, a transistor may be replaced using a suitable diode for an effect of claiming and fixing a voltage difference.

For example, by means of the structure of FIG. 2, the time required for recovering from a transient state may be as short as 3 microseconds (μsec). However, without using the circuit provided by an embodiment, the time required for recovering from a transient state may be as long as tens of microseconds. Hence, the circuit structure provided by an embodiment is advantageous to signal quality.

In summary, by means of a circuit provided by an embodiment, a structure (e.g. the signal modulation unit 110) having modulation switches designed on floating wells and high voltage capacitors may be used, so a DC common input voltage (e.g. −20 to 70 volts) may be blocked, and small AC signals may pass through. The high voltage capacitors may block DC signals, so the structure may have a very low input bias current. As mentioned above, the usage of high voltage components may be avoided. The post amplifier AMP coupled to the low pass filter 166 may compatibly be one of multiple kinds of operation amplifiers of various input voltages. A circuit provided by an embodiment may have improved PWM rejection ability and high-speed recovery ability. Because a chopper switch circuit may have high-speed discharge paths, so the requirement of high-frequency (e.g. 100 kilohertz) pulse width modulation operation may be fulfilled. The high-speed discharge paths may be used to speed up removing the static electrical charges, where the static electrical charges are stored in high voltage capacitors when the common voltage switches. Hence, an amplifier may recover to normally output signals within a short time interval (e.g. 3 microseconds). As a result, the disclosure is useful for reducing the engineering problems in the field.

Those skilled in the art will readily observe that numerous modifications and alterations of the device and method may be made while retaining the teachings of the invention. Accordingly, the above disclosure should be construed as limited only by the metes and bounds of the appended claims.
